Your wedding ceremony will be designed with you and your personalities in mind. Family traditions, readings, songs, and many other elements can have a place during the wedding service. Our pastor will happily accommodate religious, nonreligious, interreligious, ecumenical, and other types of weddings. Couples work together with our pastor, who offers premarital counseling and assistance in forming and shaping the ceremony the way you like. If you have your own officiant, they are welcome to co-officiate with our pastor.
Music for the ceremony is coordinated by the Director of Music Ministry and chosen in consultation with her. Vocal and instrumental soloists can add great beauty to a wedding ceremony. They likewise coordinate the hiring of any additional musicians if requested, and is happy to provide more information upon request. Some couples desire to integrate their family and friends into the service. Our Director of Music Ministry will be happy to coordinate music with them and integrate them into the service.
